Scalefast, a Los Angeles based digital commerce solution that is changing the way modern brands do DTC eCommerce, is announcing their offer to launch DTC stores in just 15 days, to help brands struggling in light of the COVID-19 pandemic be able to increase product availability for their consumers.

This new offering allows mid- and large-sized brands to rapidly launch DTC sales through a white labeled storefront capable of processing more than 200 orders per second. It combines Scalefast’s leading eCommerce platform with the company’s expertise and knowledge navigating the complex direct-to-consumer eCommerce landscape, both at the national and international levels.

“With the COVID-19 outbreak and home-quarantine regulations, we’ve seen an unprecedented spike in online shopping, delivery and traffic,” said Nicolas Stehle, Founder and CEO of Scalefast. “Because Amazon and big-box retailers are, rightly so, prioritizing essentials and many brick-and-mortar stores are closed, third-party retailers are unable to replenish and deliver their stock as quickly as consumers demand. A lagging retail eCommerce model can lead to major technical, operational and economic challenges for a brand and that has only heightened during times like this, so we’re offering our services to do absolutely all that we can for brands as we navigate this new, unpredictable reality.”

Scalefast is offering to launch stores in as little as two weeks, and will provide all the systems, infrastructure and services needed to operate and conduct DTC sales, including:

  1. Building a new online store with the brand’s selection of SKUs
  2. Holding and storing all inventory
  3. Handling the payments, tax and fraud
  4. Picking, packing and shipping the orders
  5. Handling all customer support and returns
